Wave Financial Membuat Pembelian 1000 Barrel Pertama untuk ‘Kentucky Whisky 2020 Digital Fund’

Tokenisasi mulai menarik perhatian yang meningkat dari para investor dengan minggu lalu membawa beberapa contoh pencapaian penting yang tercapai.  First, INX memenuhi ambang minimum untuk distribusi token, dengan $7.5M USD raised.  Second, Wave Financial completed its first purchase of bourbon/whiskey for tokenization through its Kentucky Whisky 2020 Digital Fund.

Whisky – Pendekatan Berbeda

What is intriguing about these events is the underlying assets.  To date, the vast majority of tokenization efforts have surrounded real estate.  In this instance, however, the underlying assets are a trading platform and Kentucky Bourbon/Whisky.

Although investors have taken an interest in alternative assets such as wine and art for decades, the fund by Wave Financial represents one of the first efforts to tokenize an asset such as bourbon/whisky.

“Untuk investor mendapatkan eksposur ke aset riil yang memiliki fundamental investasi mengesankan seperti whiskey sangat sulit, tetapi kini menjadi mungkin melalui dana kami. Setelah peluncuran pada bulan Maret, kami senang telah menyelesaikan tranche pertama penggalangan modal yang sensitif waktu dan membeli 1,000 barrel whiskey bourbon Kentucky premium secara fisik atas nama investor kami” – Benjamin Tsai, President and Managing Partner of Wave Financial

Other examples of niche tokenization efforts include:

CurioInvest – Fractional investing in rare automobiles

TheArtToken – Fractional investing in fine art

Kemajuan yang Dicapai

Although reaching this first marker is an important moment for Wave Financial, it is just the first on a long road.  With Wave Financial expecting to tokenize between 10,000-20,000 bottles, this current crop of 1000 only represents 5-10% of its goal.

“Dengan akses unik kami ke kapasitas produksi whiskey Wilderness Trail untuk tahun ini yang tetap terbuka, kami berada dalam posisi yang sangat baik untuk melanjutkan penggalangan modal untuk dana ini.” – David Seimer, CEO of Wave Financial

If Wave Financial is able to reach its end goal, this would represent the tokenization of an entire years-worth of bourbon/whisky from manufacturing partner, Wilderness Trail Distillery.

Satu Set Lengkap Whisky Macallan

For those wondering if Bourbon/Whisky can indeed represent a good investment, look no further than Macallan.

Matthew Robson, 28, was the recipient of one bottle of Macallan single malt scotch whisky on his birthday, for 18 consecutive years.  He recently made the decision to sell this collection, which was left untouched over time.  This decision resulted in a sale, bringing in $56,000 USD.

While not an example of tokenization, the appreciation in the Macallan Whisky collection is exactly what investors are after.  Providing the whisky is properly cared for, it is a product that will not deteriorate over time, and is only produced in limited runs.  Furthermore, there will always be a consumer demand – simply put, people like to drink.  For each of these reasons, Wave’s Kentucky Whisky 2020 Digital Fund may just go on to prove quite successful for investors thinking outside of the box.
